Yes, they seem to be a non-egocentric jazz band able to write decent songs. I remember a show on the LTEC tour which they started with a 10ish minute freeform electric jazz jam in an early 70ties fashion followed by a 30+mins K9 suite. Minds blown. And for the rest of that evening they mostly played short catchy songs.

I think I started to understand Motorpsycho much better when I discovered (thanks to them and the mentions in here) the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
